    Spider-Man fans are pretty accustomed to Peter having emotional storylines. There are a select few that really leave an impact on you. My number one emotional Spider-Man story is Spider-Man Blue. After reading this issue, this story comes in a close second place. The writing is so spot on, making your emotions for Peter grow even more. The writing plays off the art, and the art plays off the writing. This is a dynamic story that is a trademark for Peter Parker. Being Spider-Man will always leave Peter torn in multiple facets of his life. Go get a copy of this issue for your collection! Read Full Review

    A fabulously written story by J. Michael Straczynski, which was backed up by great artwork from Perez and Guru-eFX. A perfect match of storytelling and visual cues that sucked me in from Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #1. If you’re a Spider-Man fan, this is a can’t-miss miniseries, and if you’re looking to jump on, this is a nice early story to help you get on board. Read Full Review

    Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man: Torn #5 rounds out a story that is, by design, split in two. One is a rather interesting exploration of the past, the other a boring and grandiose tale of magic and mayhem. The excellence of the former only led the way to greater disappointment with the latter. Read Full Review
